Mihwoom Kingsp0r;. in the county m, Flu! State of Tennessee, have imam l useful 1m Jvemen s in Razor ifi ers of which the fnllowl! ers, and it has fur its ohjeet to produce a (le vice of this class of simpleaml of improved and effective construction. ll'len whose wee-- lions compel them m travel frequently free place to place and who largely mtronize hotels are frequently put in; great an I by the lack or tetal absence of some nom'eir ient place is which EHZGY n tacheel While being helm shopping {1 razor. are noticeably absent in the i and in toilet moms and lm'atorier mg by no means of standard manufz: *iure or construction. are, moreover, previi d vith various attaching means, thereby rend the problem of a cenvenienia attaching: flew in more vexatieus. Thus some man:- are pmvied with small swiveled ()ther ski-ops are wrovided with e; lets stationai'y or swiveled m an ohleng which, if attached to an ordinary would render the strep liable ictwisted m" contorted when pulled to the same for epei'a'tien. Again, 50:: are prnvidelI-vith a 'flm'etnile-fi pm eciion adapted to he with :1 mm formed in a special supporting or attaching device; but. inasmuch as the laatex', when purchased. is usually permanently mounted in the bath room of the home of the purchaser while the strnp is frequently carried away from heme, a device 01 this kind renders the problem of atmhing oi supporting the strep when away from home even more troublesome, v

The object of the present invention, there fore, may he specifically stated to produce a simple and thoroughly effective supporting device which may be mounted in. the lavatories of Pullman cars, in the bath rooms of hotels and in any other places where the use thereof is desired ancl which will afford a convenient means fer attaching and sup- Porting a, strep having any kin-fl of supper? 111g device in general use at the time '2 likely to be hereafter develegul.

E'Vith this and oil er ends in View which Speeificatim: e1

Eaten'zl P ateniefi 2, 1916* 4 has been i181 that no lnmtatilm means. showing a razor l in (3 at enee.

Extending plate 18 is P device plnie 18 h ing inclin permit the aim-shin; means 2, z'azer strap to be placed in, eng 1 "1 t 1 2% ii-e1 The razor st-rep shewn is videcl. with a. relative? however, may eeil' prong 20 time emma-ding .tre zched and d g l i angular plate 18 until it comes to restat a point where the width of the plate is equal to the internal diameter of the eye.

In'Fig. 5 has been shown a razor strep the attaching means of which consists of an oblongeye 22. The manner of mounting such an eye on the device is similar to that.

- strop, the attaching means of which consists of a triangular dovetailed plate 23 having a relatively narrow shank portion 24. The plate 23,- When held edgewis'e, may be introduced through the slot 1.9 until the shank portion 24 reaches the slot, after which by restoring the plate 23 to a horizontal posi-' tion, it will be held securely against Withdrawal, thus permitting the strep to be tensioned.

It will be seen from the foregoing description, taken in connection with the drawing, that it will be diflicult to find a razor strop having any kind of attaching means that might not in some convenient manner be engaged with the improved supporting device. The latter may, therefore, justly he held to be universally useful.. and adaptable to the support of razor strops of all known and conventional makes.

The improved device may he easilv and inexpensively made by casting of brass, malleable iron or other appropriate material ,Which may be afterward embellished by plating or in any Well known way. It is obvious that the precise construction is susceptible of many modifications, and no limitation is, therefore, made to the precise construction herein. shown and described.

Having thus described the invention, What is claimed as new, is:

1. A device of the class described comprising a supporting member having a forwardly extending shank, and an upwardly and rearwardly inclined triangular plate carried by said shank and having at the apex thereof a rearwardly extending prong, said plate being also provided with a vertical slot.

2'. A universal razor strop supporting device comprising a vertically slotted triangular plate having at the apex thereofa rear- Wardly extending prong, said plate being supported in an upwardly and rearwardly inclined position. by a supporting member having means for attaching it to a Wall or the like, the parts being so proportioned that when the device is mounted in position for operation the terminal of the prong at the upper end of the inclined triangular plate shall. be spaced from the Wall or object on which the device, is mounted.

In testimony whereof I aflix. my signature in presence of two witnesses.
